The Defenders

[gadgtfreek]

I'll keep it, liked the 1st epi.

 

[DJdish]

I still have to check this one.
Kinda too many legal shows tonight

 

[riffjim4069]

My timer is still set, but so is the one for The Whole Truth and Law & Order: LA premieres tonight. Only one of these shows is going to surviveon my Tivo. I liked the first show (I was surprised) and look forward to seeing what tonight's episode has to offer.

 

[riffjim4069]

OK, I like this show! Yeah, I know...it's no Perry Mason or Law & Order---the show is a bit light on the legal and a tad heavy on the comedic shtick---but this show somehow works with its goofy cast of characters, unbelievable legal tactics, over-the-top theatrical performances, and smoochie-sweet way.

Ok, I missed the first episode, watched tonight´s one and I´m keeping it.
I´d say it has the right mix of ingredients. :up

like Jim Belushi, worried it's going to get low on story lines - an ok show

 

[MikeD-C05]

I could really care less about this one. I have tried for two weeks to watch ,but get bored and do other things on the computer while it is playing. Like Jerry O'Connel, but really don't care to watch any more of Jim Belushi.

it's Jim Belushi...people either like him or hate him. I like him in this role, but hated him in others.

 

[gadgtfreek]

I like him.

 

[riffjim4069]

Another good show last night...

 

[KAB]

Belushi just rubs me wrong... can't help it.

 

[MikeD-C05]

Belushi just rubs me wrong... can't help it.

Agreed. I couldn't get through an entire show yet with out being irritated. Timer deleted.

 

[Ramy]

I like this show. I have always like Jim Belushi. I miss his comedy show.

 

[Peter Parker]

Am I the only one amazed that we were expected to buy the idea that Jurnee Smollett was young enough to play a high school student last summer and is now somehow mature enough to play an attorney?

 

[riffjim4069]

I like this show. I have always like Jim Belushi. I miss his comedy show.

I like Jim Belushi in this role; I liked him in the movie K-9; I couldn't stomach him in just about everything else. Go figure!

 

[rockymtnhigh]

I am watching it for the first time now; so far, I like it; but not much different than any other legal defense show. I don't have any problems with Jim Belushi; and I like Jerry O'Connell, but I don't think I have seen him in anything successful since Sliders.

 

[Peter Parker]

O'Connell had a decent run on "Crossing Jordan" a chick show if there ever was one. He has done some voice work and i believe he is helping to manage his wife's career. but he has been ina string of shoert lived TV series.

 

[rockymtnhigh]

I have now watched two episdes, and I'll actually keep the timer. Its entertaining enough.

 

[riffjim4069]

I cannot believe it, but this is the one new show that I actually look forward to each week - very surprising. I thought it would have gotten old after a couple shows. Go figure.

Agreed. It has grown on me with each episode, bit by bit. I have not watched this week's yet though, since I was immersing myself in the beginning of the NBA season.
